Wed Jan 14 2026
Moody’s Corp. Chief Treasury Officer Deepali Chawla joins NeuGroup’s Justin Jones on the Strategic Finance Lab to share how agility, curiosity and a willingness to pivot have shaped her career—and helped drive an award-winning AI transformation in treasury.
Early in her career, Ms. Chawla found herself navigating both a new country and a different job in corporate finance. The experience shaped her approach to change: stay agile, stay curious and stay prepared to pivot. It’s a mindset she’s carried into senior roles across companies and continents, and one she brings today.
In this episode, Ms. Chawla explains how the adaptability she honed early in her career shapes her leadership—which helped power her team to win the 2025 Treasury Management International award for Best AI Automation.
“I think the two things which have got me here were my agility and the quick adaptability approach and mindset,” she says. “That shift, in terms of going with the flow, I think will still take me where I want to go in the future.”
